"Browsing around the Web, we recently came across an
interesting page by Lee Schaeffer '65, a videographer in Pittsburgh, Pa. It's a
rotating panoramic view taken last August from the southwest corner of Bobby Woll Memorial
Field during a vacation to Illinois. It's especially interesting because it shows the
field just prior to renovations that included installing a new running track and the
construction of Boucher Plaza, just north of the library and science building."

Technical details of the panoramic picture
These pictures were taken with a hand held 35 mm camera with a 28mm wide angle lens. The images on the Beulah Presbyterian Church Cemetery Page were taken with the camera mounted on a tripod in the normal position. It takes 7 pictures to capture the full 360 deg. panoramic view with the 28mml wide angle lens. The image on this page were taken with the camera mounted in the portrait position which takes 12 images to capture the full circle but gives more foreground.
The images were then copied and pasted side-by-side to produce a 600X5200 panoramic image. Originally I did this manually but then found an extremely nice program called The Panorama Factory. The programmer is from Pittsburgh so there are some great examples of local views. For the web page this very large file was compressed and reduced to 40% of its original full screen size. View the image file.
The picture is displayed on the web page by using VRTour which is a 17K Java Applet that is downloaded as part of the web page. You can find out more about the using VRTour from Picture Works. I have found that sometimes, on some computers, the image hangs up and you must use the RELOAD or REFRESH function on your browser to get the program to work.
